Tindaya - strong cold winds, NE, all day. Quite a bit of sun but didn't feel any warmth from it.Last evening around 6.30pm the wind which had been very strong all day suddenly blasted through like an express train for about 30 minutes bringing heavy horizontal rain with it - very noisy. It then reduced to a gentle breeze for the rest of the evening, most bizarre.

El Cotillo... A day of mixed weather is forecasted. A cloudy start, then sunshine, ending with cloud and light showers. The wind has eased to a moderate northerly cross/shore breeze, possibly reaching 16mph. Temperatures are creeping up slightly, and may well reach 18°c later in the day.

Tindaya - strong NE winds, lovely blue sky but still masses of cloud. Several showers during the day one of which was pretty heavy. Very warm in the garden this afternoon in a sheltered spot. Wind eased mid-evening. Temp only down to 13C so far tonight.

Have noticed the goats laying down quite a bit lately. Are they like cows and lay down when they sense rain approaching, or just tired?

Yesterday, again very much as forecast temp reached 19 C but it felt more like 15/16 when you were in the wind, and we had two heavy showers one around 12:00 { when I was unloading the shopping from the car . } and another not quite as heavy around 15:00

JohnR forecast of little wind this evening is correct, just been out and not a breath of wind at 20.20hrs down on Fuerteventura Golf.

Been a mixed afternoon since we arrived at 11.10hrs, half an hour late due to having to de snow / ice the plane at Manchester, so to arrive here was a treat after what we have had to experience in the Lakes /uk for the last 4 weeks

As we have now arrived what the weather will do is in the hands of him up stairs!!!

Tindaya - mainly cloudy with some bright spells. Easterly breeze. Breeze had gone completely by mid evening. Down to 13C but doesn't feel too cold due to lack of wind chill for a change! Good day for getting some jobs done inside and sharing time with lovely friends - thanks both for all your help! Looking forward to some sunnier days as forecast.
